What are the most amazing moments this new golden era of television gave us? We've rounded up the very best bits from a whole year of TV watching — and some of the very worst.

Check out our list of the greatest and most horrendous scenes from science fiction and fantasy television. Plus our video collection of clips so terrible (and wonderful) they'll make you make you cry-wank, American Horror Story style.
